I'll match...





His MIND PANICS 'praying for safety' or a DIVINE ANNEX to hide in

But why when if surrender is GRANTED he must hand over his pride then?

Calming his brain, preparing for a battle he might win

He begins to recollect scenes of Ty-son fight-in’

While thinking back on posters of Ali

He recalls laws such as mind over its BODY

You see an idiot can swing but will PROB’LY MISS

Because hand-eye coordination is what GOT EM THE HITS

So DROP ‘EM WITH THIS, clear your head and LOCK INTO HIS,

STOP and wait for the OPTion to send a POP IN THE LIPS

And if he’s BLOCKIN WHAT’S SENT above

THEN do him foul and start BOXIN HIS HIPS, no gloves

Now HOLD UP and regain CONTROL OF your THOUGHTS IN THIS SHIT

Cuz it’s only your FAULT WHEN YOU MISS, he 'shake n bake' and now you CAUGHT
IN THE MIX

Better bob and weave and forsee his leg was BROUGHT UP FOR
KICKS

And COUNTER HIS LICKS, then 'make this pussy bleed' like THE DOT ON A BITCH

Steady POUNDING WITH FISTS, for the SAKE OF WRECKING HIS DOME

We are human made up of only flesh and just bone

Gods amongst men are found when testing the throne

And the winner wouldn’t allow a man to mess with his home

Or his Pride.. really not even his dignity

For he knows though man must die, a legend lasts into infinity...

Voting Rubix

Rhyming Scheme/Flow - RIGGA - Both were quite basic but the multi - mentality from both sides made it looks more like a battle verse, capping multies auto-sounds like punches in your head. RIGGA you saved it with your last few lines.

Vocabulary - Tie - basic vocab from both but it went with the topic, no need for a range of vocab here but in the future watch out for that.

Topic/Meaning - RIGGA - both stuck to topic, Rigga is right with the 'think outside the box' Double you took the topic at face value (which is fine) but you have to be creative to make a good topical writer.

Storytelling/Progression - Tie - neither had a CLEAR beginning, middle, end with events within the verse. Nicely written, and they did tie up nicely in RIGGAs but i'm going to be harsh so you have areas to improve.

Emotion - RIGGA - Easily the first few lines and the last few lines got this for you. I liked how you switched the emotion from a fight mentality to deep and emotional at times, good job.

Imagery - Double - he created better images, because I could see the video game in my head. Good job, just work on being able to keep imagery and incorporate everything else.

Poetic Techniques - RIGGA - Double your verse was written more like a battle, RIGGA you showed signs of that too but the last few lines were very nice. Simplistic from both, but not bad. Work on it.

Ending - Previously said there wasn't MUCH of an ending for either. So tie.

Overall MVGT - RIGGA - Good job. This was interesting from both. Double work on what you have now, build on it and incorporate new techniques. RIGGA you really got the hang of this, with the topic it was hard to dig deeper but I know you can, so do. Also, step your vocab up and have ago at writing a clear story. I was impressed with you RIGGA here, Double the potential is there, just work on it! Good battle.

I Have a question.....Has Verity or RIGGA even played a MK game????? For a Mortal Kombat topic battle, RIGGA a'int got 1 line that can directly relate to any MK game.. or movie.. or cartoon. He has a few select bars, that would fit into any topical verse involving fighting.
But... lets all remember... MORTAL KOMBAT is the topic. .. now, lets compare each verse side by side.. RIGGA has some good punches, 1 nice metaphor, good use of multis.. the verse sadly is....almost COMPLETELY OFF THE TOPIC... Double T's verse has a MK reference every line, and almost each reference to MK is part of the punchline/metaphor.. he works a mutli syllable mk reference in almost every line... not bar.. every LINE. I'm looking at this strictly from a judging Point of view, Double T took to the subject MORE aggressively, the flow is easier to follow and read. The complexity of the bars are way more impressive. and he STAYS COMPLETELY ON TOPIC. RIGGA had better multi's. that the only category I can see he is ahead of T, in this battle.

So, *SPOILER ALERT* I'M BOUT TO TALK SOME SHIT.



I call bullshit if you put copy n paste UFC bars, over bars like this



''then i LIGHT UP nades that STRYKA THROWS
a toasty up-start, then im FIGHTING SMOKE
-scorpion- when i -torture him- BEHIND THE ROPES
-screamin- like -Sheeva- on the HIGHEST NOTE''

1. strykers grenades explosion metaphor,
2. UP, START, must be pressed after the dude comes on screen and says ''toasty'' if you want to unlock smoke in MK2,
3. scorpion.... ''behind the rope's'', THE MOTHERFUCKER THROWS A ROPE WITH A HOOK ATTACHED AT YA CHEST!.
4. Sheeva punchline, ''highest note... '' you just got compared to a female homie.

I can understand if certain punches/metaphors are too complex for some.
And no disrespect to RIGGA's skill, or Verity's Judge of talent. But...
SERIOUSLY?? SERIOUSLY??? Are you SERIOUS!!!!!!!!
I am either dissappointed in the lack of effort put into reading the verses or your lack of intelligence. I know who won this battle, and any real emcee does. I give respect to both rappers, but some of this site needs to open their eye's, I find it hard to believe people are leaning towards a verse not even relevant to its predetermined topic, just because a ''newer rapper'' is paired against a ''vet.'' SERIOUSLY DID YOU EVEN READ THE VERSES??????????? SERIOUSLY THOUGH??




Hate mail accepted.
Your only mad cuz you know I am right.
